11 Things No One Ever Looks Forward To On Flights

There aren't many things to look to on a flight other than the "prime time movies" and, of course, the actual destination which is usual a hotspot resort in some thriving place with much better weather than your own environment. It is entirely about the getaway, but getting there is usually the struggle. There is nothing better than getting out of the airport and starting a vacation, away from all your troubles, nonsensical drama, and even people. But, leading up to that sweet walk of victory, you must go through the hassle of the flight and all the things that everyone dreads.

1. The crying baby that you know you shouldn't but want to punch.

2. The obnoxious sleepers that figure that your shoulder is an armrest.

3. The big group traveling that assumes that the airplane is a coffee shop. NEWSFLASH: People want to sleep.

4. The uncomfortable chairs that we all know have shrunk through the years.

5. The children that watch TV shows as if they have never experienced such amusement in their life and feel the need to shake anything and everything in their sight.

6. Having so many food options on a flight but realizing that they are all unappetizing.

7. Sitting behind people that recline their chairs to the maximum as if they really plan on being more comfortable.

8. The college teams that show up and figure it's just another plane, another practice.

9. The passengers that have taken maybe one flight in their life and believe that turbulence is equivalent to death.

10. Flying internationally and knowing that the stinky, warmed up food will always be yours. Let's face it: you aren't getting that warm, homemade cookie from first class and probably never will.

11. Being put on the fire lane which automatically means no sleep because you can't recline your chair.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
